Really, 3 people per truck? I remember in the 90's seeing 2 people per truck here in Ottawa. The last time I remember seeing a garbage truck it only had 1 person, he would drive on the right hand side, and hop down to throw the garbage in, then hop back in.

Why does that make you laugh? Please, do tell, what's the open alternative.

I think the fact that it has Intel inside, but is called "Truly Open" is what makes it funny. Until I saw the hardware, my first impression was that they had sourced open source hardware, to be truly free and all.
Just because there is no open alternative, doesn't mean that it is "Truly Open".

Like screwing up the software that controls your breaks? Or perhaps the auto pilot of the plane you are on? This list could go on for quite a while for the things that are now programmed by 'IT' people that could kill you.

Maybe I'm missing something, since I've never had to go through arbitration (or small claims court). But couldn't a lawyer/firm put together a kit to show you what you needed to do to take these cases to small claims court, or even requesting arbitration? Do companies have a time limit for arbitration?
I could only imagine if a law firm did a "class" action style sign up for these kits, and charged people a small amount of money for it (generic kit, couple hours, sell it for like $10 even) that it would cost these companies a large sum of money to respond to all of them.

This is so true, I'm taking some college courses online and I've picked up the solutions manuals for the courses. I'm not using these for the assignments, but I do use it to see what I've done wrong when my teachers provides no feedback.
The one "awesome" teacher just attaches a word document for his marks, and this is just a copy and paste from the solutions manual. This is probably the teacher I've hated the most while doing courses online, he'll give you a mark like 5.74 out of 6, and then just the word document with no idea why the one number you got wrong was worth.26 of the assignment.
